Sylar began his path toward rediscovering himself in Heroes Season 4 Episode 5.
Peter’s at the hospital overseeing Hiro, who collapsed in his apartment the night before. So the question now is whether Peter’s there to help Hiro, or if Hiro’s there to fix Peter.
Sylar awakens with no memory, including that of the name Sylar. The police told him his name is Gabriel. He’s opting for neither of the two. You can call him Nathan. The memories are returning, but they’re someone else’s memories.
Peter goes to HRG, who recalls Jeremy Greer, a kid with a healing touch ability. Years back, he was healing insects with a leg still twitching. Perhaps he could save Hiro.
Edgar introduces himself to Sylar by attempting to attack him. This does not go well, and Edgar ends up sitting in a wheelbarrow of cement.
Samuel decides to introduce Sylar to Damien, claiming his gifts will allow his true memories to return. Sylar is ready to know the truth.
At Peter’s suggestion, Emma goes to talk to Hiro about her power. She has just one question. How does she turn it off? His not helpful answer: it’s not a light switch.
HRG and Peter arrive at Jeremy’s house, where everything seems to be dead. Apparently, Jeremy can control the flow of life and has opted to take away rather than give.
Sylar heads into the house of mirrors with Damien. He remembers his mom, more specifically how he killed her.
Hiro wants to chat with Emma. He is the master of time and space, or at least he was. So what about her? She just wants it to stop.
In addition to his power, Jeremy has himself a shotgun. What happens if somebody approaches him? Everything he touches ends up dead. Like how he killed his parents. So, like, did he consider burying them? If Noah comes one step closer, he swears to god he will shoot him. Peter pops in, a shot is fired, and Peter ends up on the ground. Well, now would be a good time to start the healing. If he doesn’t, he’ll die anyway. With some encouragement from HRG, he agrees to use his powers for good and brings Peter back.
Hiro has decided to show Emma his power. It’s like time is standing still. Pretty much because it is. His lesson to her is that there are no bad powers and that she should learn to understand her power and do good things for the world.
Seeing more of his past, Sylar runs out of the house of mirrors screaming. So how many people did he kill? A dozen? Two dozen? Oh, you might want to think of a higher number. With this newfound power, where’s he going to go from here? Samuel promises to bring him into a community who loves him for who he is. His first act will be to find the police officer who was hunting him, the one who has conveniently showed up and is in the house of mirrors (thanks to Samuel’s invitation).
Peter’s shooting was no accident. Having been healed, he is now a healer. HRG sends Peter off to do his thing, while he will remain behind with Jeremy until he knows he’s okay. He’s ready to pick up the ball again and return to helping people.
Sylar is not quite ready to go back to his old ways. He warns the cop to leave while there’s still time. The counteroffer: be shot to death in cold blood. Sylar’s counter is to electrocute him, but not to death. If Sylar won’t kill him, Edgar will.
Hiro disappears, but he leaves behind a message. Save Charlie. He returns to three years ago at the Burnt Toast Diner in Midland, TX.
